Chapter 702: Daxing Reward

"The emperor has arrived!"

Suddenly, a shout rang out.

The main hall, which was originally full of people whispering, immediately fell silent.

Everyone quickly adjusted their postures, stood in position, and looked up in unison.

Immediately afterwards, I saw Hu Xian, who was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a luxurious crown, walking from the side, walking with a majestic bearing, and a faint taste of iron and blood.

Lu Ping'an still remembers that when he first saw Hu Xian, his whole temperament was relatively elegant and peaceful, and the world's evaluation of him at that time was the word "moderation".

But after experiencing a big war, Hu Xian's momentum has obviously become much more powerful and tough.

People's evaluation of him naturally rose with the victory of the war.

Many people believe that even in the hundreds of years of history of the Cangwu Kingdom, Hu Xian is enough to rank in the top five virtuous monarchs.

In terms of fighting foreign enemies alone, his merits are second only to the founding emperor and Hu Xuanzhang, who has the legendary record of "beheading thirty-two generals of Nanyun Country in a row".

In fact, this war with Dongyu Kingdom was far more difficult and dangerous than the battle against Nanyun Kingdom back then, but because Hu Xian and Hu Xuanzhang played different roles in their respective two wars, they naturally received different evaluations.

But in any case, Hu Xian is now the contemporary Ming Jun in the minds of the Cangwu people, and his prestige is extremely high.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Hu Xian sat on the dragon chair, and everyone in the hall shouted in unison and saluted.

The civil and military officials all knelt down to pay respects, and Lu Ping'an and the others were not courtiers, but also cultivators, so they only had to bow their hands.

Hu Xian said: "Flat." ”

And as everyone got up, it also meant that this court meeting officially began.

As Lu Ping'an expected, the main content of this court meeting was about the war.

Hu Xian didn't even ask the officials to report on other things, but he himself talked about the war directly.

He did not use too formal tone and rhetoric to narrate, but from his perspective as a war witness and leader, he narrated and summarized the great war between Cangwu and Dongyu.

Hu Xian's tone was sometimes calm, sometimes helpless, sometimes angry, excited, and happy......

Those officials who did not participate in the war, listening to Hu Xian's words, felt as if they had experienced it themselves, and their emotions fluctuated.

Speaking of the latter, when Hu Xian was summarizing, he focused on mentioning Lu Ping'an and others, saying that they had made immortal contributions to the Cangwu country, and the whole country should be grateful and respected for them......

All in all, it was a great compliment, praising them as extremely brave and warlike, and righteous and awe-inspiring.

Moreover, Hu Xian also asked those historians to record Lu Ping'an's deeds in the history books, so that future generations can admire them and make them famous for centuries.

In addition, Hu Xian also mentioned Zhuang Qingxi, Gongsun Ying and others, calling them "nameless scholars", saying that they also made great contributions to the Cangwu Kingdom, but due to various reasons, their identities cannot be announced, and they can only be used as their collective name for "nameless scholars", but at least let people know about it.

After Hu Xian finished speaking, he asked an official to read out the holy decree that had already been prepared.

The content of it is also talking about the war, but the rhetoric is extremely formal, and the focus is on the practical praise of Lu Ping'an and others.

Lu Ping'an has long been named the "God of War", which is a title specially created by Hu Xian in recognition of Lu Ping'an's outstanding military exploits, and it has reached the point of "god", and there is no way to continue to reward him.

Therefore, Hu Xian could only increase Lu Ping'an's salary and treatment in all aspects from twice that of the prince to four times!

At the same time, Lu Songyin, the head of the Lu family, was also named a hereditary marquis and named "Marquis of Wanqiu".

In fact, Lu Tianhai, who was in charge of the affairs of the Lu family and Wanqiu City, was promoted from the Lord of Wanqiu City to the Governor of the Northwest.

For these rewards of the Lu family, it can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Lu Ping'an's inability to increase his official ranks.

It is worth mentioning that the troubles that the Lu family encountered before had already been solved by Governor Qiu, and those who wanted to murder the Lu family were also punished as they deserved.

And since the promulgation of the Holy Decree today, the Lu family is a real famous family in the Cangwu Kingdom, and no force dares to provoke them anymore.

Then, there is the reward for Hu Ling, Chun Yu Feiqiong and others.

Hu Ling's title was changed from "Princess Taiping" to "Princess Taiping".

Although Chun Yu Feiqiong and Meng Shaoyuan were not from Cangwu, they were still given the title of Duke of Guo.

Tian He is the same, but what makes Lu Ping'an and Tian He himself a little unexpected is that Tian He's father Tian Yan was also posthumously named an earl, and by the way, Tian Yan was still quite meritorious when he was the lord of Wanqiu City, and the cause of his death was persecution by his younger brother Tian Sheng.

Although Tian He had already taken revenge, this incident was a shadow in his heart after all.

Unexpectedly, Hu Xian actually heard about these things, and specially posthumously knighted Tian Yan, explained the cause of his death, and justified his name.

This undoubtedly poked into the depths of Tian He's heart, which moved him very much, and immediately shouted: "Thank you, Lord Longen!"

In addition to Lu Ping'an, Guan Xiantu, Luo Yi, Xue Chengwu and others, as well as other generals and strategists who played a certain role in the war, were also promoted to knighthood and received rich rewards.

The monks represented by Hong Yang also received corresponding rewards.

Those ordinary soldiers who did not show up will be promoted in their positions and their salaries will also be increased.

As for the soldiers who died in battle, they will not be forgotten, and those who have meritorious posthumous titles, even a small soldier, will be enshrined as heroic martyrs, and their names will be engraved on the heroic monument, and their families will receive a large amount of pension money.

In short, as long as you have contributed to that war, you will be rewarded for your merits, and try not to treat anyone badly.

This is not the end, the holy decree also mentions that the people's taxes will be reduced to a certain extent, and some criminals who have committed minor crimes will be pardoned...... And so on, there are several wills that can benefit the whole country.

And this, in a sense, can achieve the so-called "national celebration".

Those who received the reward felt very honored, and others felt that they deserved it.

It's just that some people are inevitably worried that such a large-scale and large-scale reward may directly affect the silver money in the treasury, right?

But in fact, Hu Xian was discussing these matters with those ministers, how could he not have considered this issue?

These measures of rewards and tax reductions will indeed affect the wealth of the Cangwu court, but in Hu Xian's view, now that the war has just ended, the whole Cangwu country needs to be stimulated and revitalized, so as to restore the national strength as soon as possible.

Therefore, even if it will shake the national treasury, Hu Xian believes that it is worthwhile and meaningful to do so.

After the official had read out a series of rewards and contents, he began to think about the punishment of some people.

Among them, Xue Zhengde, Zhang Boshi, and the former Weiguo Gong Cao Liang are naturally indispensable, as well as people who are closely related to them and have assisted them in doing certain things.

Xue Zhengde and Zhang Boshi committed serious crimes and were directly sentenced to beheading.

Cao Liang had helped contact Qi Zhu before, and Hu Xian promised to save him from death, so he was only sentenced to be imprisoned in prison until death.

The punishment of other relevant personnel is also quite severe, which can be described as a clear reward and punishment, and one of the rewards should not be neglected, and the one that should be punished should not be let go.

Finally, all the rewards and punishments here today will be made into notices in a relatively simplified way, posted in various parts of the country, and announced to the world, so that the people of the entire Cangwu country will know and understand these things.

It took a long time for the official to finish a large number of holy decrees, and he was parched and exhausted.

After listening to it, everyone in the audience also deeply felt Hu Xian's wisdom and benevolence, as well as the willingness he conveyed to make Cangwu Kingdom stronger, so they couldn't help but feel more respect for him.

No one can reward Hu Xian for anything, but what he did will be remembered by people, and it will also leave a reputation of "virtuous king" in history.

At this point, the most important content of today's court meeting can be regarded as the end.

The next thing Hu Xian wants to discuss with the civil and military officials is a more conventional court government, and there is no difference between the court meeting and the court meeting in peacetime.

Those things had nothing to do with Lu Ping'an and the others, so Hu Xian asked them to go down first.

Then, Lu Ping'an and the others returned to the side hall.

"Haha...... From today onwards, I will be the prince of the country!"

As soon as he entered the hall, Meng Shaoyuan said with a laugh.

Tian He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Look at you." ”

Meng Shaoyuan said: "Such a good thing, isn't it worth rejoicing?"

Tian He said: "Although I am very grateful to Your Majesty for the reward, as a cultivator, the title given by the imperial court is not important to me, but I am still quite grateful for the fact that Your Majesty posthumously awarded my father, if he has a spirit in the sky, he should feel very happy." ”

Lu Ping'an nodded and said: "Yes, Your Majesty may just know that the title does not mean much to us, so he wants to reward us with this kind of thing, I have to say that Your Majesty can do this for us, it is already extremely compassionate and sincere." ”

Tian He said: "That's right, Your Majesty's kindness, I will never forget, if there is anything that the royal family of Cangwu Kingdom needs my help in the future, I will definitely help." ”

Guan Xiantu said with a smile: "Tian Xiaoyou, you are the true inheritance of the head of Qimen, and you may really need your help in terms of formation in the future." ”

Tian He directly summoned a sound transmission magic device, handed it over, and said, "No problem, just use this to contact me if you have something in the future." ”

But Guan Xiantu didn't answer, and said: "Since you want to thank Your Majesty, it's better for you to hand it over yourself." ”

Tian He said: "Okay, I will also go and say goodbye to His Majesty by the way." ”
